This is most likely a tribute/joke to the guy who sold "pet rocks" back in the 70ties and earned quite a lot from it.

Seemingly the idea works quite well, because people tend to buy these for 2-7g :)

And indeed it gives me a great laugh when I see them posted in trade, for it reminds me of a Family Guy episode :)

I will NEVER sell my lucky pet rock :)<3

Comment by Maed

When I say this, I say this for a fact: the pet rock is not very hard to please; It's basically happy 100% of the time. So no worries on who gets to pick the movie, it'll always let you choose! :)

Pet Rock Forever!

I'm abandoning my warp hunter when I find one of these. Anyone know what type of foods it eats?

I bought my pet rock for 3g and I think it was worth it and now everyone wants to buy my pet rock... I think you should farm it then sell it for +5g.

Comment by daveandhiro11

If you get a pet rock they are worth up to 50g on RP servers... I got one for 3g then sold it for 45g! Its really worth the buy... Plus you get to have a buddy with you to talk with on a really long trip...

id bet 50 gold he meant intricate bauble.

Comment by daweedian

I love this item :D i got one, and linked it on trade channel for fun and it caused a lot of laugh!! after that one guy offered me 25 g for it and i sold it to him!! i went to azshara and got 5 more in 10 minutes, i sold them all for 25g each ! i don't know why do ppl buy it, I suppose that they are some kind of collectors of strange and rare WoW stuff :DPet rock the best pet in universe :))))

Sadly, these don't stack with theirstelvs.Thus, you can't have a monolog with a bunch of pet rocks without wasting more than one inventory slot.

High Overlord Saurfang can kill two Al'ars with one Pet Rock.

Comment by Toldry

My ex-guildy rogue friend helped me get one of these.He suggested I call it Einstein.And so I did.

Now, each time I link Einstein on the trade channel, I get half a dozen whispers who say: "how much?".

But I will never sell Einstein! <3

Comment by triton456

btw, isn't there a easier way to get these? It's worth it to pickpocket them, but i alreaddy pickpocket about 80 of these shammies, and still don't got this cute pet. ='(

Comment by Toldry

Does anyone know where I get a ?

Comment by Grimshorn

I dont know how my pet rock did this but somehow it tanked Zul'Aman. I am going to keep this FOREVER. Never need to look for a tank again when i got one in my backpack :D

Comment by Zmic

I said in trade channel: "Are you tired of looking for a good tank? are you sick of that when you are killing that final boss, the tank has to go for dinner? Well then do I have a deal for you! is now on sale on open price, better tank you can not fine elsewhere! 999999 armor status and a defence rate of 346570 makes this a deal of the century! Just keep it warm'n dry and it will go with you to any Instance/raid or whatever you wish! NOTE: Leakage from stone is the buyers responibility, Sells seperately!". After that announcement i got seriously over something 32 whispers... one guy even offered me 100 gold! but as the other people say here: "I will NEVER let go of my .

Blizzard please make this a non-combat pet! Although I guess it could slip out of its Leash

Comment by Veldrath

This little fella helped me countless times in Warsong gulch! Just let him lead the way and the Enermy will ignore the fact that you're carring the Flag ^_^

Comment by Talvanor

This may be a Runescape reference. In the Fremennik Isles quest you have to obtain some golden fleece, which is guarded by a giant troll. You can get a Pet Rock (http://www.runehq.com/database.php?type=item&id=001449) from Askeladden (http://www.runehq.com/database.php?type=person&id=278) which you give to the Troll. He thinks it is the perfect companion- It doesn't complain, doesn't need to be cleaned up after, and doesn't eat- so he gives you some golden fleece in exchange. You can also obtain more Pet Rocks after the quest and they can be Interacted with- Feed, Stroke, Talk to, and Interact. It's a fun and popular pet.

Comment by Enjubi

And remember, NEVER never never never! feed it after midnight!

Comment by Reoiam

I dont believe it! Noone has mentioned The Rock ( Dwayne Johnson )

Comment by CorlandoHuntarr

There will obviously be a world event patch where the rock will kill evry1 oneshot in 100 yards: lich kings secret weapon lol. This is what was buried under lights hope chapel. This is the rock in the ashbringer!

Comment by CorlandoHuntarr

when u summon it drops on ur head.thts y it looks happy.

Comment by deadbodyman

I wonder what would happen if you got it stoned? o.O

Comment by seaborn

I just saw someone selling one in trade that had stats on it lol. +2 AP, +54 Shadow spell dmg, +10 haste, and one more but i forget. I clicked the link from trade and sure enough, they were there.

Comment by Joseanna

Do you have to be a level 50-51 to pickpocket this or can any level do it?

Comment by Bannedfury

I dont understand why this was not reported by now, but after many attempets (all ended in FAILURE), I used on it to see.. "Untamable by Hunters"... I was a very sad panda.

Though I Did find out this rock has 42 Nature resistance. hmm.

Comment by malthef

omg blizz should change this *cough* pet to epic!or atleast just common ._.

Comment by Epicskillz

Why has noone commented that it actually looks happy? If you tilt your head a little to the left it looks like a happy asian! (though his/her left eye (our left) looks a bit skewed)

Comment by Minipretzels

Patrick that's just a rock.

Thanks I know. He's got nerves of steel!

Comment by Jinkist

I think Blizzard should add this as a vanity pet.

Just imagine how it would be, you summon it and walk away and it just sits there, not moving at all, not following you.

Comment by Kilin

Timbermaw Shamans have disappeared :(

If anyone finds out if/where these drop as of Cataclysm please share.

**update 1/10/2011Had another ticket open due to a game bug. This time I got to talk to the gm, and when he asked the obligatory "Is there anything else I can do for you today?" I asked "I was hoping to farm another pet rock, since the Timbermaw Shamans are gone, do they still exist somewhere?"

After about 3 minutes of looking it up, he sadly replied that they no longer are available anywhere in game. He was even sad cause he now wants one too! So every ticket I open and every forum posting I do on the battle.net site will end in "Bring back the Pet Rocks!" Rawr

**update 5/14/2012MOP is rumored to have a daily that will have a Pet Rock as a random reward. Supposedly like the fishing bag has a Very Unlucky Rock. Hopefully this is true... I guess we'll just have to hope it survives launch.

**update 5/24/2013Still no sighting. There is a Tasty Rock you can pick pocket from MoP mobs. I have tried to farm one with no luck. Will hopefully be motivated to try again before they take IT away too... /mournpetrock

Comment by Greysdawn

Timbermaw Shamans, the mobs in Azshara who used to drop this item(by being pickpocketed) have been removed from the game this patch. Pet Rocks are no longer available. QQ =(

Comment by Osirismd

Mostly dirt and small micro-pebbles, but it LOVES a good Baby Ruth from time to time. :-)

Comment by AKdenton

May suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.

Comment by Magedraenei

Alas, this item is no longer avaliable in Cataclysm. Looks like the shattering took a sad toll on the number of rocks wanting to be pets.... :(

Comment by Fizzledark

If you're really lonely like a certain Innkeeper, it can be your family!

Comment by Lostelf

Sooo by the comments posted here im guessing that it's a rogue or AH only item....EDIT:just realised deathwing has made the race of pet rocks extinced

Comment by Darthdavo

Brilliant pet for hunters. Though the 'Attack' command does need some direct help from yourself.
